Publisher's Synopsis
In late summer 1947, thirty-one-year-old Yitzhak Goldah, a camp survivor, arrives in Savannah to live with his only remaining relatives. There, Yitzhak discovers a fractured world, where Reform and Conservative Jews live separate lives - distinctions, to him, that are meaningless given what he has been through. When a woman from Yitzhak's past suddenly appears - one who is even more shattered than he is - Yitzhak must choose between a dark and tortured familiarity and the promise of a bright new life.
